Mosquitos

So here in the mosquito capital of the world they're here...and they are here with a vengeance...I imagine they'll be bad this year with all the flooding we had...lots of standing water.

What the heck are the purpose of mosquitoes anyway??? They drive us all crazy and we are forever trying to get rid of them...so why oh why did they even come into existence???

The boy is fascinated with them and why they like to bite him (he's always been prone to LOTS of bites, in fact when he was just 4 months old I took him to the doctor because I was certain he had chicken pox or measles or something because he was covered head to toe in spots...turns out they were all mosquito bites...apparently the netting I had to go over his stroller couldn't even protect him!!!...but back to what I was saying) he says it's gross that they suck your blood (kinda like vampires) and then leave this itchy 'bite' mark. He doesn't get it...can't he just keep his blood?
